Context Reading has been designed to meet the needs highlighted by the Bullock Report, for pupils to practise the higher order reading skills. Context Reading is in three levels. At each level there is a highly-illustrated pupil’s book and an integrated set of Pressure-Fax spirit-masters.
The book contains fiction and non-fiction passages in various registers. Different kinds of illustrations, including picture-strips, charts and diagrams are also used for their reading content. Questions on text and pictures help pupils understand the material and provide for further discussion.
